[C320-list] cold weather sail: a few pics

[Allan S. Field]

For Sea Shadow, it takes less than a minute to re-winterize.  I cut the raw
water hose and installed a 3 way valve with a hose hanging off the valve
that goes to the antifreeze.  After re-winterizing, I empty the raw water
strainer, flip the valve back to seawater, and walk away.

 So how long does it take to re-winterize the engine?
